West Parley

Northbourne: New Road One of the most important routes into Bournemouth, New Road is the A347 from Ferndown. It is not &#039;new&#039; but it was when it was built (which I suppose is true of all roads!).

We see it here as it crosses Ensbury Bridge, over the River Stour, and therefore over the historic boundary into the Borough of Bournemouth, as it was until April 2019 when Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch local authorities merged.

The sign is of a design that became prevalent in Bournemouth around 1990 and was in use for most of that decade, with blue border and, when mounted on the pavement, on blue legs. The addition here of the word Bournemouth and the borough coat of arms is of course because this is the entry point to the borough. The centre point of the river is the boundary, so the positioning of the sign is very exact!
